Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an integrated housing capable of integrally connecting several components of a water supply module, and the water supply module including same. According to the present disclosure, hoses or pipes are removed or a pipe length is reduced through the integration of components constituting a cooling system, and thus a reduction in size and weight can be promoted.
Claims16
A water supply module, comprising:
- an integrated housing that includes at least two or more component mounting parts formed on an outside of the housing and capable of mounting components, an internal flow path formed inside the housing and connecting the components to each other so that cooling water flows between the respective components mounted on the component mounting part, and one or more cooling water entrances communicating with the internal flow path;
- at least two or more components that are mounted on the component mounting part;
- and a reservoir tank in which the cooling water is stored;
- wherein a flow path changeover unit in which the internal flow path branches in multiple directions starting from one point is formed in a space inside the integrated housing;
- wherein the integrated housing includes a waterpump that pressurizes and transfers the cooling water and a cooling water changeover valve that changes a transfer direction of the cooling water;
- wherein the waterpump and the cooling water changeover valve share the space inside the integrated housing;
- wherein the one or more cooling water entrances include a reservoir tank cooling water entrance through which the cooling water flows between the reservoir tank and the internal flow path;
- wherein the reservoir tank communicates with the internal flow path through the reservoir tank cooling water entrance which only communicate with the reservoir tank;
- wherein the number of reservoir tank cooling water entrances is two or more;
- wherein among the two or more reservoir tank cooling water entrances, at least one reservoir tank cooling water entrance directly communicates with an internal flow path that branches in a first direction starting from the flow path changeover unit;
- and wherein at least one of the remaining reservoir tank cooling water entrances directly communicates with an internal flow path that branches in a second direction starting from the flow path changeover unit, wherein the two reservoir tank cooling water entrances are disposed on the same side of the integrated housing and extend parallel to one another, and wherein the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.
